I have attended two talks by LTC Dan Ragsdale and had the opportunity to meet with him to discuss the development of similar cyber defense exercises at UMBC CISA
http://cisa.umbc.edu/
According to him the exercises use both linux and windows operating systems and teams are required to provide certain services (ftp, dns, etc.) They get points for having these services up and running and lose points for any downtime. New to the exercise this year are:
an orange team (naval postgraduate school)
allowing social engineering attacks
All attacks are carried out over a VPN and as to the nature of the NSA red teams attacks... that is unknown, even to the exercise coordinators. So there could be exploits being tested here without anyone elses knowledge.
My friend's death metal band Kiriyama had thier music on mp3.com and i have this great mental image of the attendees of the regional promise keepers convention being subjected to such death metal greats on the ride up to their hotel room.
I had neural feedback suggested as a possible method of alleviating symptoms related to obsessive compulsive disorder. I participated in the treatment for approximately 13 months, and found it to be very beneficial. Since I was supplementing the neural feedback treatments with regular SSRI's I can't say for certain what percentage of my relief came from the neuro-feedback and what percentage came from traditional therapy/medication but I was very satisfied with the results. Contrary to popular belief, there is no pain involved in the process, the human brain adapts quickly to the "video game feedback" system that is used and responds effortlessly (if you are trying to force anything, just relax, and let your brain respond. It's designed to respond to audio/visual feedback, even if you don't understand HOW it's responding, so let it do it's job.) I also found that the side effects were increased concentration, and a better nights sleep. After 13 months of working with the program, i learned stratagies to generate "positive" brain waves in certain situations (physical strategies such as regulating my breathing, as well as mental stratagies, such as mentally humming a certain tune) that I feel are highly beneficial. As an alternative treatment possibility, I would highly suggest neural feedback due to the lack of negative side effects and benefits it is apt to provide even if it fails to help your ADHD.
